CreateMe Technologies Inc. today announced strategic partnerships with Avalo and Laguna Fabrics to introduce Seed to System. This initiative aims to connect climate-smart cotton, domestic textile manufacturing, and robotic garment assembly into a single AI-assisted ecosystem.
The partnership aims to demonstrate how apparel can be produced faster, more locally, and with greater supply chain resilience.
“We believe the future of apparel manufacturing depends on building connected systems across material innovation, textile development, and advanced automation,” said Cam Myers, founder and CEO of CreateMe. “This partnership is not about recreating legacy supply chains. It is about building a new foundation for apparel manufacturing, one powered by technical innovation, AI-assisted development, and closer collaboration between next-generation partners.”
“Together with Avalo and Laguna Fabrics, we are demonstrating how brands can unlock greater speed, resilience, and responsiveness through a more connected manufacturing ecosystem,” he said.
Founded in 2019, CreateMe specializes in automated soft-material manufacturing, starting with apparel. The Newark, Calif.-based company has developed a unified platform combining advanced robotics, proprietary adhesive bonding, and physical AI to produce garments with precision and consistency unattainable through traditional sewing.
CreateMe’s MeRA robotic assembly system won a 2026 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award.

CreateMe said it made Seed to System to explore a new model for developing and producing apparel across the U.S. with connected innovation partners. While portions of the apparel supply chain already exist domestically, the industry has historically operated through fragmented systems and with limited coordination between agriculture, textile manufacturing, and garment production, it said.
Decades of offshoring in pursuit of lower costs also lengthened lead times, reduced visibility, increased emissions across the supply chain, and added inefficiencies between production stages, observed CreateMe.
Seed to System connects climate-smart agriculture, advanced textile development, and automated assembly into one collaborative framework. CreateMe, Avalo, and Laguna Fabrics said they aim to demonstrate a more modern and resilient approach to apparel manufacturing infrastructure.
How will Seed to System work?
Seed to System will initially launch as a pilot to demonstrate how a fully integrated apparel manufacturing system can work in practice. The assembly process begins locally in Texas, with Avalo‘s AI-assisted climate-smart cotton innovation. Laguna Fabrics then spins this cotton into fabric in California with its knitting and dyeing capabilities.
“Avalo leverages AI to naturally evolve cotton genetics to create more efficient and sustainable raw material production, while maintaining quality,” said Tricia Carey, chief commercial officer at Avalo. “This technology creates much-needed resilience on the farm, and we are excited to partner with innovators that are using AI to deliver the same climate-smart efficiency to the rest of the supply chain.”
Finally, CreateMe’s commercial-grade automated assembly platforms, MeRA and Pixel, produce the finished garments.
“Laguna Fabrics is proud to help connect material innovation to scalable textile development,” said David Roshan, president of Laguna Fabrics. “Building a better apparel system requires practical infrastructure, and this partnership demonstrates how knitting, dyeing, and manufacturing can work together in a more transparent and responsive way.”
Building on the announcement, the partners said they plan to continue development through the summer with a focus on product design, material storytelling, and process visibility ahead of a planned Climate Week activation and capsule launch.
